The NAVI esports club has approved the CS:GO roster for the upcoming IEM XVII — Cologne. The Born to Win will again be represented by Ukrainian Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev, with whom the team became the champion of BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022, having beaten Team Vitality in the final with a score of 2:0.
It is worth noting that sdy, playing in non-standard positions, finished the tournament with a rating of 1.02 and was remembered for many beautiful highlights in important rounds.
As before, sdy will play for NAVI on a free loan from the MAD Lions club. We thank the leadership of the Spanish club and the Prodigy agency for the opportunity.
Recall that sdy joined NAVI two weeks ago. Together with the team, the 25-year-old Ukrainian esportsman became the winner of BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022.
